Rome: Total War
Strategy
September 22, 2004
The third installment in the acclaimed Total War strategy game series developed by Creative Assembly. This time, the player is taken to the period during which the Roman Empire is in its prime. The player participates in historical events, such as the Spartacus slave uprising, the Punic Wars, or Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul. The creators faithfully recreated such historical elements as different military units, machines and technologies the ancient nations depended on. As usual, the gameplay is divided into two phases. The player makes large-scope decisions in the turn-based mode featuring the world map - for example, concerning technological development, diplomacy, development of cities or army management. The battles, on the other hand, are played in real time and the player commands particular formations or individual units. Rome: Total War includes the features introduced by the previous installments, such as sieges of cities, reconnaissance or reserves. Apart from the single-player campaign, the game offers multiplayer for up to 8 competitors.

Total War: Rome II - Caesar in Gaul
Strategy
December 17, 2013
The first of the planned expansion packs for a strategy game developed by Creative Assembly. The expansion is set in the years 58-51 BC and focuses on the titular figure's fight against Gallic tribes.

Consequently, seasonal division returns, randomly affecting the course of the playthrough. The new campaign is complemented by new factions added, including the Nervii, the Arverni and the Suebi; also, previously unavailable units were added. Apart from that, the mechanics behind the in-game challenges were altered, a new historical battle was added and a greater emphasis was placed on figures such as Julius Caesar or Marcus Antonius.
